Yubo Du | University of Pittsburgh

About Me

I am Yubo Du, a Ph.D. graduate student researcher at University of Pittsburgh. I joined Dr. Jun Yang’s lab since Jan 2023. My interests lie in defending the programs against memory safety-related bugs or exploitations such as Use-After-Free (UAF) detection and Out-of-Bounds (OOB) detection.
